How about that crazy weather?! Not just a great ice breaker when a conversation runs dry, but a fabulously interesting science topic!
Some great websites to visit include...
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology - This site is so comprehensive (full of information) that no others are really necessary. However, the easiest way to navigate this site is to google search what you want information on and add "bom" to your search e.g. "clouds + bom" or "cyclones + bom"
There is no need to stick to the weather on Earth - Learn about other planets at NASA
Or for a different perspective, hundreds of years ago, the seasons in Australia were marked by local events like sharks breeding and wattle flowering. The Indigenous people had a good knowledge of their local weather. Learn more about this at The Lost Seasons
